Bad grammar

the speaker and me

See, 7th grade English worked very well for me.

My 7th grade English teacher would definitely flunk your 7th grade English teacher.

Here is a simple way to determine the correct use of I or me. Take out the other person and use “I” or “me” as a stand alone.

Thus, would you say:

“I try to ...” or “Me try to ...” ?

As you can see, in this instance, “I” is correct, therefore “the speaker and I try to ...” is grammatically correct, not “the speaker and me...”.
